Today we don’t eat, we dine.
Today we don’t walk, we dance.Today we don’t sleep, we dream.
Today we don’t smile, we laugh.
Today we don’t wear boots, we wear crystal Cinderella’s.
Today we celebrate life and we are dressed for the occasion.
Surprise your heart with your eyes and see that tomorrow will be another very special day...
If I look into the hearts of people, sometimes I can sense what they dream of. If I talk to them I can understand their needs. Their need for surprise, for security, for contribution and growth, for individuality and familiarity. Humanity creates an endless flow of illusions and hope.
So many girls want to be beautiful princesses or flying elves, so many boys want to feel cunning knights or wise kings. Why don't we make it our goal to realize those dreams, contribute deeply to the lives of others and ourselves in the meantime. We are allowed to speak the universal language of design which can be an inspiration to so many if we find the right words to speak.
It is our responsibility to be magicians, to be jesters, to be alchemists, to create hope where there is only illusion, to create reality where there are only dreams.
We cannot work for the company who pays us, we have to work for our public and create great value for them, we can no longer use humanity to serve technology, we have to use technology to serve humanity.
- Marcel Wanders
